From the very first time I met Dr Qureshi I felt optimistic, safe and reassured. He has an optimistic and forthright stern yet gentle manner and leaves you in doubt what you will be facing but also how exactly WE not I, we’re going to deal with it. We made a plan we executed it and now, as a result of the plan I am 15 months Cancer free. I feel privileged at being lucky enough to have had such a highly professional and very Human physician to come to my aid at the time in my Life when it was most needed.
